"This is a painting of Bishop Kofi Sosu of the Suame Ward in Ghana, West Africa, along with his wife, Linda, and their three daughters. Bishop Sosu strengthens his family relationships through regular family prayer, scripture study, and family home evening. He named his eldest daughter Abish (left) after the Lamanite missionary in the Book of Mormon, and he hopes that one day she too will be a great missionary for the Lord. I have tried to give the viewers a glimpse of what I saw and felt with this special family. Father and mother work together to teach their children the gospel of Jesus Christ. The children can feel the love of their parents and the Spirit of the Lord."
